"Oh, what did the Heavenly King say about this?" When the Great Sage heard this, he put down the wine glass in his hand, it seems that this matter is very important, otherwise, with the identity of Li Tianwang, why bother to dismiss the guards in one fell swoop.

"Great Sage, you don't know anything. Li Tianwang sat upright and said carefully.

"The study of scriptures began tens of thousands of years ago. At that time, the West Tianling Mountain was still the commander of the ancient Buddha who burned the lamp. The king threw out one bombshell news after another.

"Shhh The Great Sage took a breath, "So, I know that the study of the scriptures has only been completed in the last five hundred years?

"Great Sage, don't worry, this king only knows about this matter. Li Tianwang picked up the wine jug and brought a glass of wine for himself and the Great Sage, and then said.

"At that time, the ancient Buddha of the lamp has the intention of abdicating, such as coming to the majesty of the Buddha Gate at that time, the 28 heavens and ten thousand Buddhas of the Buddha Gate, before the abdication of the lamp, hereby come to the heavenly court, to His Majesty the Jade Emperor to express his desire to preach in the four continents, and hope that the Jade Emperor will approve the mission of the West Heaven. ”

His Majesty did not agree at first, but after His Majesty hit a wall, he went to visit Lao Jun on the thirty-third floor of the heavens, and had a long secret conversation in the Tushi Palace. As for what Randen and Lao Jun had secretly discussed, I am afraid that only His Majesty knows about this matter, and even this king only knows that there is a secret talk. ”

After that, Lao Jun went to His Majesty Yulingtian's bedroom for a secret talk, but as for the content, the king still didn't know. Li Tianwang said helplessly.

Although Li Tianwang was already in a high position at that time, he could dominate the thousands of heavenly soldiers in the Heavenly Court, and ranked first among the military generals, but it was related to the foundation of the Heavenly Court, and Li Tianwang still did not have the qualifications to know.

After all, Li Jing was in the heavenly court that entered through Jiang Ziya's god in ancient times, and at that time, Lao Jun was already the head of the Three Qings. Later, when the Jade Emperor succeeded to the throne, it was Laojun who led the ministers to support it, so that today's Jade Emperor was born. Li Tianwang was not dissatisfied with this, after all, he was a military general, so he could just lead the army into battle, and as for the foundation of the Heavenly Court, someone would take care of it.

After that, His Majesty allowed the Western Heaven to preach to the four continents, and the Heavenly Court did not have much involvement in this. Then before taking the scriptures, the West Heaven Buddha Gate abdicated, and Rulai took over as the Lord of the West Heaven. At this time, Rulai suddenly announced that his disciple Jin Chanzi had violated the precepts of Buddhism, was reduced to the lower realm, and suffered from reincarnation. ”

"After that, in Dongsheng Divine Continent, that is, the continent where the Great Sage Your Huaguo Mountain is located. There was a monk who claimed to be the reincarnation of a Buddhist monk, and in order to save all living beings in the world, he was willing to go to the West Heaven Da Lei Yin Temple to meet my Buddha and ask for superior Buddhist scriptures. ”

"It's a pity that at that time, in the lower realm, both the people and the people in the Buddhism in the Nanzhan Continent laughed at this monk, you are a mortal, and you still want to talk about going to the West Heaven, which is the holy place where the Buddhas gather. Is it something that you, a mere monk, can see? ”

In this way, in the atmosphere that Dongsheng Shenzhou is not optimistic about this monk, in the laughter of everyone, this monk has one person, one horse and one burden, and embarked on this long road to learn the scriptures.

"Alas," Li Tianwang sighed and said, "How far is the road to the West Heaven, this monk goes alone with one horse and one load, I have to praise him for having the world in mind, but as everyone says, how can the Buddhas of the West Heaven be so good." This monk walked for a year, encountered the black desert one day, and never came out after walking in. ”

Hearing this, the Great Sacred Heart thought for a while, and picked up the wine and wanted to drink it. Finally, he stopped the movement in his hand, rubbed the robe on his body with one hand, thought of Li Tianwang's three admonitions just now, and asked, "What happened later?"

"Later," Li Tianwang took a sip of his wine glass, "After thousands of years have passed in the world, another enlightened monk appeared in Hezhou in the west under the West Heaven Buddha Gate, and he wanted to go to the West Heaven to see Rulai." It's a pity that on the way, in order to save a people, he was buried in the tiger's mouth. ”

"And that Xitian Rulai, ignoring this person who went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures and ask the Buddha, let alone save the world?" Speaking of this, Li Tianwang sneered.

"What happened later?" the Great Sage couldn't help but ask, he knew that what Li Tianwang said today was all related to his own protection of Xuanzang's study of scriptures in the West, otherwise Li Tianwang would not have to talk about what happened tens of thousands of years ago.

Later, there were constantly such sudden epiphany monks in the four continents of the world, and all their life's requests were to go to the west to see Rulai, intending to preach to the four continents, but in the end they did not reach Lingshan. The ninth monk died at the foot of Huaguo Mountain five hundred years ago. ”

"Hey, hey, stop, stop, listen to what you mean, this ninth scripture learner is still my grandson's murder?"

"Hehe, don't be angry. Li Tianwang explained, "When this ninth monk died, the Great Sage, you were still in the spirit stone and had not yet been born, how did you kill that monk?"

The Great Sage picked up the wine glass and drank it all, "Count you Li Tianwang as an acquaintance, when my grandson was born, how could I see a monk in Huaguo Mountain? Come and come, pour wine and pour wine!" The Great Sage slapped the table and said.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious, how come you, the king of the heavenly court, don't even have this bit of eyesight, and you don't pour it after you finish drinking, do you wait until my grandson is gone?

Li Tianwang's face turned dark, yes, he is really a cheap person today, it is not good to invite anyone, he has to invite this ancestor. I am the head of the Heavenly Court generals, but I have become a little guy who has no eyesight and serves people. I knew that this was the case, and when I just returned home, I should have asked Nezha to come over to accompany the wine.

Looking at Li Tianwang's ugly face, the Great Sage didn't look embarrassed at all, but asked, "Why is Li Tianwang's face so ugly, shouldn't my grandson come to this banquet today, if so, then my grandson won't come in the future!"

"Hehe, how can there be, the Great Sage is willing to come today, this king is too late to be happy, how can he dislike the Great Sage? It's just that Heavenly Court has been in a state of preparation for war recently, this king is really too busy, all of them are a little tired, the Great Sage should not be blamed!" Li Tianwang said with a smile.

But he scolded in his heart, this king wishes that you, a monkey, would not come, and if you don't come, I don't have to give you those twenty pots of spirit wine.

"Hey, Heavenly King, my old grandson suddenly thought of something, when I Bao Master Xitian learned the scriptures, at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, Guanyin Bodhisattva lit me, mentioned a sentence, saying that I want to protect the reincarnation of the golden cicada The Taoist monk Xuanzang Xitian learned the scriptures, if the merit is complete, it can be cultivated to the right fruit, and now according to what the king said, the nine scriptures are also the reincarnation of the golden cicada monks, right?" The great sage suddenly thought of what Guanyin said before taking the scriptures, and asked.

"This king does not dare to speculate on this matter, after all, the king knows very little about the Buddhist scriptures, and he really does not dare to say anything. Li Tianwang pondered.

The Great Sage nodded lightly, Li Tianwang's words have already explained that there are many things involved in learning scriptures, and even he doesn't know the specifics, but who are the nine people who learn scriptures?

"No, Heavenly King. The Great Sage suddenly thought of something again, and said, "At that time, when Master Naliushahe accepted Lao Sha as an apprentice, Lao Sha had a string of skull beads around his neck. When the master asked, Lao Sha said that he had no life in this quicksand river for hundreds of miles, and that he had nothing to do in this quicksand river, and that he had eaten nine scriptures in hundreds of years. It's not what you say!"

"Haha, the Great Sage doesn't know anything. Li Tianwang stroked his beard, "Five hundred years ago, Rulai once came to my heavenly court again to ask His Majesty to cooperate with the matter of learning scriptures, His Majesty nodded and agreed, after the Great Sage made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, he was suppressed by Rulai at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain. Later, Tiancang and Roller Blinds were successively demoted to the lower realm, and Xuanzang learned the scriptures five hundred years later. ”

"The study of scriptures began tens of thousands of years ago, when the curtain was still serving in the heavenly court, and it was not a demon in the lower realm. Even if the curtain is true, then what he eats is not the person who went to the west to learn the scriptures, and the things that learned the scriptures have been going for a long time, until more than 500 years ago, when he visited the heavenly court again to talk about the scriptures, the Jade Emperor began to cooperate with the scriptures, so there was a canopy and the curtain was degraded. ”

"The matter of learning the scriptures is very important, if the curtain is really eaten by the nine people who went to the west to learn the scriptures, can Rulai and others give up on this? Not to mention that after the completion of the scriptures, the curtain will be sealed as a golden-bodied Arhat. ”

"Well, according to the words of the Heavenly King, there is indeed some truth. My old grandson just wanted to be the lord of the heavenly court back then, and he did what he did like a bird? But he came specially in Lingshan to suppress my old grandson under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, and Buddhism is really not a good thing!" the Great Sage scolded.

"The Great Sage is now a member of the Buddhist Sect, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to have such an attitude, right?" said Li Tianwang.

"Hehe," the Great Sage smiled, "How can the Monkey King come freely to defeat the Buddha in that Buddha Gate, but the Jade Emperor is interested in acknowledging the name of my grandson." Didn't King Li Tianwang still admonish my grandson just now?

Li Tianwang slapped his head, "Oh, oh, it's that the king has lost his words, punish himself with a glass, punish himself with a glass!"

At this time, there was a notice outside the door, "Report - Qi Qi Heavenly King, the Jade Emperor has a decree, please ask the Heavenly King Lingxiao Hall to discuss the matter, there must be no mistake!"

Hearing the news outside the door, Li Tianwang stood up and said, "It seems that I can't drink this wine today, Your Majesty summoned this king, there must be something important to discuss, I'm sorry for the great sage!"

The Great Sage picked up the flask and poured the rest of the wine into his mouth. Then he replied with satisfaction, "Since the King of Heaven has something to do, my grandson will not continue to bother in this mansion, and it is time to go back to Huaguo Mountain." As long as the king of heaven does not forget the twenty jugs of wine. ”

Li Tianwang opened the door of the palace and ordered, "Go and get twenty pots of spirit wine!" After a while, a guard came over with twenty copper pots, and the great sage saw these twenty pots of spirit wine, he smiled, hugged his hands in front of his chest, and blew lightly, and the twenty pots of spirit wine had already entered his arms.

Looking at the twenty pots of spirit wine in his arms, the Great Sage smiled and said, "Thank you for the gift from the Heavenly King, my grandson is gone." After speaking, he turned over a heel bucket, rode the somersault cloud, and went to the Nether Huaguo Mountain.

In the Heavenly Court Lingxiao Palace, Li Tianwang stepped in, looked at the Jade Emperor sitting on the dragon chair, and saluted, "Minister Li Jing to see Your Majesty!"

The Jade Emperor looked at Li Tianwang and asked, "Have you talked to that monkey about learning scriptures?"

According to His Majesty's wishes, the minister feasted the monkey and told him that the monkey's learning from the scriptures was not as simple as he imagined. Then the minister also paid twenty pots of spirit wine," Li Tianwang said helplessly.

"Oh, I lost twenty pots of spirit wine, and I heard about it!" the Jade Emperor suddenly became interested.

Li Tianwang had no choice but to entertain the Great Sage with Heavenly Court Tribute Wine, but was told in detail about the Great Sage's wine.

After hearing this, the Jade Emperor laughed, "Hahaha, what a monkey, if you can't ask for it, you actually want to steal it, Li Tianwang, I think if you don't give him the twenty pots of spirit wine today, he really dares to steal all your jars!"

"Who would have thought that this monkey would be able to taste tribute wine. Li Tianwang said hatefully.

"That's it, I'm giving you an altar. The Jade Emperor reassured.

Hearing this, Li Tian immediately saluted respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"How did he react when you told the monkey this?" the Jade Emperor turned back to the point.

There was no big reaction to the specifics, and the monkey said that the Buddha would defeat the Buddha and defeat the Buddha, how could the Monkey King be at ease. Nothing else. Li Tian carefully considered.

"Hehe," the Jade Emperor said with a smile, "It's better to defeat the Buddha than the Monkey King, in this case, my Heavenly Court has told him so much, it is considered benevolent and righteous, it depends on how this monkey chooses!"
